| Senior Mathematics |
10 Credits;
Year |
| Prerequisite: Algebra II and recommendation of math instructor |
| This
course is designed for students who have completed Algebra II but who are not prepared
for, or do not have the confidence to take, Math Analysis. It will emphasize the use of
problem solving strategies that will create more interest and enhance understanding and
will offer new approaches to topics often taught in pre-calculus. The course will cover
problem solving, sequences and series, counting and probability, linear programming,
functions, inverse functions, conic sections, and trigonometry. Fulfills U.C.
"f" and C.S.U. elective requirement. |
 |
| Math Analysis |
10 Credits;
Year |
| Prerequisite: "B" or better in all previous math courses,
recommendation of math instructor, and a passing score on the Algebra II competency test |
| This
course will include review of the concepts from Algebra II. The major emphasis will be the
introduction of skills necessary for success in Pre-Calculus with emphasis on
trigonometry, infinite series, and graphing of a variety of functions in rectangular and
polar coordinates. The second semester will include introduction to probability and
statistics. This course is recommended for the student planning to enter the field of
business administration as well as those going into math or science related fields.
Fulfills U.C. "f" and the C.S.U. elective requirement. |
|
| Honors Math Analysis (Pre-Calculus) |
10 Credits;
Year |
| Prerequisite: "B" or better in Advanced Algebra II, or "A"
in Algebra II, recommendation of math instructor and a passing score on the Algebra II
competency test |
| This
course is designed so that students who successfully complete it will be prepared to take
calculus or any other advanced mathematics course. Modern technology has evolved to the
stage that allows students to explore realistic applications. The presentation will use
methods that focus on problem solving and encourage generalizations based on strong
geometric evidence. Topics covered will include relations, functions, and analytic
geometry. Most topics will be explored in conjunction with their applications in business,
economics, or science. This is a very rigorous, demanding course which will require at
least one hour of homework almost every night. Fulfills U.C. "f" and C.S.U.
elective requirement. |
|
| Advanced Placement Calculus |
10 Credits;
Year |
| Prerequisite: "B" or better in Honors Math Analysis, recommendation
of math instructor, permission from the department coordinator, and a passing score in the
pre-calculus competency test |
| This
course is the equivalent of the first semester of a three semester college calculus
course. The student will be expected to have a very complete understanding of Algebra II
concepts and be familiar with trigonometry. The course content requires that each student
have a TI-82 graphing calculator. Topics explored will include the concepts of limits,
infinite series, derivatives of algebraic functions, integration, analytic geometry, and
applications of all of the above. The student will be expected to spend one and one half
hours minimum on homework for every class period. This course is rigorous and demanding.
The students will take the College Board Advanced Placement Examination at the end of the
year. Fulfills U.C. "f" and C.S.U. elective requirement. |

| Recordkeeping |
10 Credits;
Year |
| Open to Juniors and Seniors |
| Recordkeeping
is a course in financial management and basic accounting with primary emphasis on source
records and secondary emphasis on double entry work. The course emphasizes personal and
business records, checks, sales receipts, deposit slips, bank statements, credit cards,
